What Pollutants Are Measured in the Air? Aerosols
Aerosols are tiny particles that are suspended in the air all around us. Although some aerosols are large enough to be visible to the naked human eye, the majority are so small that we do not even notice them. However, they have the ability to reflect, absorb and scatter light from the sun, which allows them to influence the earth’s temperature and energy budget both directly and ...
